the world isn’t so bad. it has you in it, after all.

It’s important to look at the progress you’ve made

i was such a weird lonely little girl and maybe i grew to be a weird lonely woman but idc i built this life for myself and maybe it doesn’t always make sense to others and maybe isn’t always easy or beautiful but it is mine and i cherish it

dont retreat emotionally. people like you and want you around. they like to talk to you, and you genuinely matter. you have to trust this through the hard times so you can get to the better times without sabotaging yourself. you are worth loving

I cannot tell you the moment in which my feelings for you became love, but this much I know; somewhere along the way this liking became more, so much more.
